Now for most Yanks and everyone else outwith the UK this may not seem like much.

But pretty much from +24 Hours to +384 Hours the charts show cold weather lingering over the UK, and because of the direction in which the air is
coming from there should be plenty of heavy snow showers.

I expect this to be upgraded over the next couple of days. Looking back over historic weather models the last time the UK had weather this cold for
this sustained period was back in 1962.

Now it all could still go to pot, but it ceritanely looks like an Omega block is formning over the North Atlantic, which basically stops the normally
mild jet stream (It basically ends up going North over Greenland and the Artic before coming back south over the UK, or Western Europe).

Could be quite nasty in most of Western Europe as well.

With Oil and Gas prices quite high at the moment this can only push prices further upward.
